F1: Scale (Arabic)/Voice Part
The PSR-4000 has a range of advanced tuning and other voice-
related functions which are all included in the F1 function group.
■
SCALE (ARABIC)
.........................................................................................................................................................................
Selects either the normal equal temperament scale
or an “arabic” scale in which each note can be tuned
over a 127-cent range.
Use the
SCALE LCD [▲/▼] controls to select
either the
EQUAL TEMPERAMENT or ARABIC
scale.
When the ARABIC scale is selected you can use
the
TUNE NOTE LCD [▲/▼] controls to select the
note you want to tune (the selected note will be
highlighted in the graphic keyboard in the upper
section of the display), then use the large ▲ and ▼
LCD [▲/▼] control to coarse-tune the selected key
in 25-cent steps, and the small
▲
and
▼
LCD [▲/▼]
control to fine-tune the selected note in 1-cent steps.
The tuning range is from “–64” through “0” to
“+63”. Each increment equals one cent (one “cent”
is one hundredth of a semitone). The current tuning
of each note is shown in the corresponding key of the
graphic keyboard display.
